ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.] THE DEBATE ON THE TUTSTT CETTE CH ESTABLISH MENT-MB. GLADSTONE THE CHAMPION OF RE FOBM-LORD STANLEY o APOLOGY AND ATTACK UPON THE TRISH-THE SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN BUSINESS. LONDON, April 1.-The Hon. W. Ewart Glad? stone, in a speech to-day in the House ol Com? mons, advocated the abolition of the Irish church establishment. He stated that since the repeal of thu penal laws against Catholics, the whole number of Protestants in Ireland was only one-fifth of the population. Hence the injustice of making the whole country sup? port a church for the benefit of so small a mi? nority. Ho praised the Catholic clergy for their loyalty and firmness in opposing Fenian ism, and was heartily cheered throughout. Lord Stanley, on the part of the govern? ment, moved to postpone the consideration of the subject. This was vehemently opposed by Mr. Gladstone. Lord Stanley, in pressing his motion, said that thc Irish people cared moro for land than church, and called for a division, when, without definite action, the House ad? journed. The negotiations between Denmark and Prussia regarding the Schleswig-Holstein territory continue. The latest telegrams say that Prussia objects decidedly to thc proposi? tions of Denmark. MADRID, April 1.-The Spanish Government will grant the army of Cuba an organization similar to that of the home army. LrvEBPooL, April 1-Noon.-Cotton opens active and excited with prices unchanged.

CHASE PATTED ON THE BACK AND SLAPPED TN THE FACE-BULES MADE TO SETT THE EMERGENCY WHAT THOMAS SAID AND DTD-BUTLER UP? ROARIOUS-SHARP PRACTICE-A GIGANTIC PO? LICE CO ?BT. WASHINGTON, April 1.-The House of repre? sentatives on assembling went into Committee of the Whole, and thus proceeded to the Sen? ate chamber, without transacting any busi? ness. The Senate had no' legislative session, and , at 12 o'clock the impeachment proceedings j were resumed. j During the reading of the journal, Mr. Sum? ner made a motion to the effect that Mr. Chase t had no right to give the casting vote jester- j day. This was defeated by a vote of twenty- j pue to twenty-seven, I The question of the admissibility of certain e ' evidence for the prosecution which was inter- ] rupted yesterday by adjournment, was then t resumed. Both managers and counsel con? sumed their hour in argument. The decision ] of Mr. Chase was then sustained by a strict < " party vote. t Pending the discussion, the managers de- ( dined to say what use they intended to make of the disputed evidence, as it would expose , their plan of prosecution. ' ? The question at issue was, whether what . Gen. Thomas said and did, could be received , as evidence. Under the affirmative ruling, it was then ? proved that General L. Thomas said he in- ; tended using fore?, and to break down the doors of the War Office, and that afterwards ] he said he was deterred from using force by ; his arrest. The next contest was upon the admissibility ; of a statement of what General Thomas did ; and said previous to receiving orders to take possession of the War Office. Mr. Chase ruled this out. Mr. Drake appealed, and the appeal was sustained by a voto of twenty-eight to twenty-two. The managers stated that, before taking a Tote, thas they intended proving by this evi? dence that Thomas, in the line of this con ' Bpuacy, attempted to corrupt the employees in tho War Department. During the controversy, General Butler vio? lently assailed General Thomas as having been dis graced by Lincoln and Stanton, stating that General Thomas, aside from assisting the President in his conspiracy, had gratified his personal revenge. Under the ruling of the Senate, on appeal the managers then proved that, shortly after his reinstatement as Adjutant-General, Gener? al Thomas c tiled up the heads of Bureau and chief employ?e?, and informed them that these remarks were confined to employees in the Adjutant-Generals Department, and that no allusion was made to the probability of Gen? eral Thomas becoming Secretary of War. This point created a buzz. " Further evidence showed that Gen. Thomas said he intended applying to Gen. Grant for a force to put him in possession. Only three witnesses were examined to-day. lu the management of tho prosecution Gen. Butler takes the lead almost entirely, and amongst the managers he is the emergency man. The practice is very sharp, precisely in police court style, except that the thrusts are more keen. Our Washington Dispatches.

An important error, in translating the Prussian treaty was brought to light in the executive session of the Senate on Friday last, by a letter of Mr. Bancroft to the State De? partment, in which ho gave an a:connt of the negotiations for the treaty. This letter was written toward the last of February, aud im? mediately after the signing of the agreement on the port of the King of Prussia. From this letter it appears that the treaty is broader in its term3 and more favorable to our citizens of foreign birth thin was at first supposed here, after the treaty was received. The correction of the error referred to makes the treaty apply to all former citizens of the North German Confederation who have been already natural? ized in the United State&, as well as those who may hereafter become so. According to Mr. Bancroft's explanation, it is also intended to cover the five years dunne which a foreigner is waiting for citizenship after having filed bis intention._ _ Accounts of great destruction of life come to us from China. Tho Chinese rebels, it is said, have committed great atrocities in the Province of Shantung, and tho people have destroyed a largo number of them. Thirty thousand are said to have perished in this way and by cold and hunger. Several dariDg acts of piracy have been perpetrated ofl the Saddle Islands, neai- Shanghai. THE NORTHEASTERN RAILROAD. ITS PRESORT I CONDITION AND FUTURE PROSPECTS. OBIGIN - COMPLETION - BUSINESS - THE MEET? ING - BEPOET OF THE DrEE'TTOES - THE ELEC? TIONS. Some years ago a number of influential gen? tlemen from Wilmington visited Charleston for tho purpose of urging upon our leading citizens the construction of a road along the coast, pass? ing in the vicinity of Georgetown, to connect the two cities by tho shortest practicable line, and towards which they were williup to pledge a sub? scription to the extent of one-half its cost. At that time the bulk of the travel between Sew York and New Orleans passed this way-the connection between Charleston and Wilming? ton being kept up by a daily line of steamers. These, however successfully managed, were deemed objectionable, and, to retain this travel, the;e gentlemen proposed the road above referred to. Their arguments, how? ever, failed to convince the parties here, and they returned to Wilmington annoyed and dis? appointed at the Issue of their visit. If we mistake not, they then conceived the idea of building a road from Wilmington, in the direc? tion of Columbia or Augusta, which eventually resulted in the completion of the "Wilmington and Manchester Road" to Kingsville. As soon as it became apparent that this project would be carried out, it was no less evident that the stream of travel would be di? rected from Charleston. To counteract this to some extent, the Northeastern Railroad was devised, and a charter was obtained in Decem? ber, 1851. A snfQcicnt amount of stock was subscribed to warrant a commencement of the work in 1853- and in 1857 the road was opened to Florence, a point on the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad, ono hundred and seven miles from Wilmington, and one hundred and two from Charleston. In view of its construc? tion, the Cheraw and Darlington Road was projected, and completed to the same point, thus affording a continuous line of one hun? dred and forty miles into the heart of the State. Much of the country through wu ich the North? eastern Railroad passed had been previously deprived of those facilities of transportation which are an essential element to the develop? ment of its resources, and tho local importance of the road is shown by the increased quantity of produce which, year by year, it has brought to market. FREIGHT. In 1857 the Creight receipts were $15,425, but by the nest year tho receipts had increased to S?7.383. Ono year later they had swollen to $108,271, and in 18C0 they were $119,7S2. After the war the country was in a half ruined con? dition, and tho freight receipts for 18C6 were but $95,345. In 1857 tho receipts, however, were $17C,301, and for the ye-r just closed they were $172,048. In the number of bales cotton transported there has been a similar move? ment. In 1857 the road camed but 1,714 bales, jo I860 it carried 58,401 bales. In 1807 it car? ried 24,589 bales, and last year it carried 2G.9C1 The number of barrels naval 6torcs trans-, sorted shows a marked increase, the total acing in 1806, G96G for eight months, in 1867, 22,080 for twelve months, and in 1868, 34,072. The general character of the cotton business >f the xoad is shown by the fact that out of a ?tal transportation in 1H68 of 26,961 bales, no ess than 18,488 came from the Wilmington ind Manchester Railroad, Cheraw and Darling? ton Railroad and from Florence. From Gour lin's there was a total shipment of 1542 bales, ind from Oakley a total shipment of only four bales. PASSENGERS. In 1857 the company receive d from passen? gers $15,360. By 1830 the yearly receipts from this source stood at $89,045, and in 1866 they were as high as $88,283. In 1867 the receipts amounted to $1207018, and for the past'year they aro S92.0S8. Of thc total passenger re? ceipts, $44,101 were derived from through pas? sengers, and $40,255 from way passengers. Thc average sum received from each through passenger was $3 81, and from each way pas? senger $1 43. THE MEETING. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Northeastern Railroad Company was held at thc hall of tho Planters' and Mechanics' Bank on Wednesday, 1st April, 18G8. A majority of the stockholders beins repre? sented, the meeting was organized by calling the Hon. M. Cogswell, Mayor, lo the chair, and appointing C. Williman Secretary. The reports of thc President and Superin? tendent were then read, and on motion made, received as information. They are as follows : REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT. PRESIDENT'S OFFICE, ) NORTHEASTERN RAILROAD COMPANY, J CHARLESTON, S. C., March81, 18C8.

Having extend? ed to it every requisite facility and accommodation, the failur* to attract it more largely, must be attribu? ted to the recent multiplication of coastwise slea mers, the restricted means of our own peopli; for travelliPS. and, especially, to the absence of any daily direct communication with Savannah and thc chain ot roads to the southward of us. The deficiency iu our freiphts and other sources of income, ls due to the reductions in our tariffs, which bad becomo necessary to the retention of produce, which, other? wise would have been diverted from us. During thc past year, there have been transported 26,961 bales cotton, 34,072 barrels naval 6tores, and 2,212.300 feet lumber, against 24,589 bales cotton, 22.080 barrels naval stores, and 2,000,000 feet lumber, the previous year. It will further be observed, that our operating ex penses have been reduced in a greater rat io, than tho reduction in our receipts, and, consequently, that the balance, or net revenue of this year, exceeds that of the preceding, by the sum ol S38.8S9.02. Forfurther details on these points, you are referred to the ac? companying report of the Superintendent. At the close of the past year there remained to the credit of Profit and loss account.

Tuis account, we may add, ie now permanently closed. From the treasurer's statements, it will be seen that the indebtedness of the company ia aa follows: 1400 First Mortgage Bonds, each 5590, due i-ept. 1, 1869.S 700,000.00 39U Second Mortgage bonds, ea.h, 8500 due Sept. 1, 1868. 145,000.00 3100 sharea Preferred Stock, $50. 165,000.00 Cerliflca'es of Indebtedness (for over due interest) Jan. 1, 1873. 104,990.80 Outstanding interest to Jan. 1,1867, yet to be funded. 123,095.43 Outstanding interest due in cash. 6,254.81 Beal eBtate bones. 28.000.OC bills payable. 33.34144 Profit and loss. 10,409.14 Stockholders. 898,950.00 $2,20J,011.62 To meet this indebtedness, we have the road (102 miles longi with ?ts ?idelnga. cquioments, tc, at a costof.82,148,130.65 Ana assets. 55,910.97 S2,204,041.62 The amount of second mortgage bonds, originally issued, was 8300,000-of which 3143,093 were sol d; the remaining 8155,000 were subsequently pledged, and deposited with three trust?es, as a security for a corresponding amount of preferred stoct, say SI 55, 000, on which an interest, at the rate of 8 per cent per annum, was guaranteed. This preferred stock ia then virtually a substitute for that amount of second mortgage bonds. Of the outstanding interest ?8123, 096), about S100.000 has been placed in a temporary shope, satisfactory to thc parties to whom it is due, and with wtom, it is boped, arrangements may ulti? mately be made lor its permanent funding. The an? nual interest for which the cmpany is responsible ia $69,600. It ia proper that your attention should be directed to the eatly maturity of the company's bonds. A portion of the second mortgage bonds, $14 5,000, be? comes payable on the 1st September, 1868. We are under the impression that these can be extended, by the payment of the interest as usual, to the 1st Sep? tember, 1869, on which date the first mortgage bonds will also mature. The renewal of the entire debt wiU then become neceBBory, but under what forms and conditions it would be premature on this occa? sion to discuss, as our action at that time will neces? sarily be determined by circumstances of whi ch we cannot now judge. This point will, therefore, be re? served for your future consideration. It affords us pleasure to confim to you, the gene? rally good condition of the road-indeed we believe there are few in the South, with which it will not fa? vorably compare. Its machinery consist* of twe Ive locomotives, all in fair order-one of thes: has been recently rebult, and may bo considered a new ma? chine; and tho others, though advanced iu age and aorvic?, can be kept in an effluent condition for an? other year, ata very moderate cost. We have sixty seven box and forty-three platform eira; eight pass? enger, four second-class, three baggage and two mail and express cars. No addition to this equipment will be required the cnsu.ng year, and our expendi? tures in Ibis department will b'j confined simply to keeping it op to ita present san.iarJ. The shops of the company are still i trained at Florence, in the temporary buildings erested mere several years ago. Although cn a limited scale, they will answer our purposes, until the company's means shall permit their enlargement and removal to the city. The depots, station-houses, tanks, kc, will be found in proper order. But while: the roa 1 ia thus physically competent to meet every demand upon its facilities, the lact is not to be disguised, that thc necessity for them to any remunerative extent, does not at present, exist Our road, as yon are aware, is essen ti ally local in its character, and dependent for hs income upon a com paratively limitea section; it has no extended Unka or feeders to widen the field of its operations, and con? sequently when from any causes the business of the country thus tributary to it, is unfavorably affected, a severe reaction upon our revenues inevitably fol? lows. As all are familiar with the circumstances which have brought about and are still contributing to this result, it would be needless to refer to them or their probable duration. So far aa the probable resulte of tho coming year are concerned, we apprehend that the losses of tke paBt will deter many planters from repeating, and others from extending their operations, and bonce the probability of a curtailment rather than an in? crease in th > quantity of cotton and upward blights to be transported the ensuing season. Wc shall be agreeably disappointe 1 at finding it otherwise, but it seems to us that this is arcady foreshadowed iu the limited quantities of guano ar.d other fertilizers now being sent into the interior, as compared with pre v!ous years. The prevailing diffiulty has been a want of capital; could this have been had at reason? able rates, th'; removal ol the late tax on cotton, and Its recently enhanced value, might have encouraged our planters to turtacr experiments with tho labor at their command; but while it ls only to bt reached by high raies of interest, and tli2 pledge of se uritics outside of thc crops to bo grown, tho r?cup?r?t.ve process must be slow, and confined mainly to those who can comply with these stringent conditions. In this st tte of thines our policy is clear. We must conform to what we cannot alter. We should make every reasonable and proper conocssion to the development of thc local business of the road, by as low tariffs a' our necessi? ties will permit, the encouragement of immigration, and, iu abor:, by every measure which would fjster new enterprises and diversify the products requiring our tronsportatiuu. Thc opportunities for its ap? plication, have so far been rare, but whenever pte sented we havo sought to improv'; them. It is to be regretted that our financial condition is not one to warrant the application of this policy to our tiriffs m its widest and most liberal dense. The latter are, to a great extent, controlled by competing routes, and are so adjusted aa to draw towards us all thc produce fairly within our reach, still they are and, of necessity, mu?t be ifttewbtt higher thon on longer and more favorably situated roals with a much larger business. Thc common anrmncut that because we have them our fa-.ilities should be em. ployed at, or even !e?s than, their cost rather than lose their immediate product, and the chances of futuie business ia not without weight, but an intelligent management will readi'y discriminate between those cases, wnen it cm bc judiciously applied, and others where it simply covers a disposion to subordinate the interests of the company to those of the indi? vidual. AU know that any business conducted bare? ly at iu cost, or undera competition only permitting a minimum and uncertain profit, cannot < nd favora? bly, unless its proportions are to bo largely and speedily swelled thereby. It would seem reasona? ble then, that while our tariffs are only producing an income equal to our requirements, and are yielding no dividends to stockholders, th.y should be gene? rally recognized and -ubuiitted to as an unavoidable necessity. Our tirst obligations are to the company's .ondholderp, and its tiriffs should be so arranged as not to jeopardize thc ability to meet them. But while the income of the road may fluctuate with the varying conditions of the country-its ex? penses are, measurably, under our control. At no period since its opening have we been in a better po? sition ?or their redaction, than at present. There cent renewa's of many of the most costly portions of the read-its generally good condition, and the fair order ol its equipment, fhould render this prac? ticable tor the ensuing year at least without mate? rially Impairing the value of the property, or the safety and regularity of our trains. A rigid econo? my haB been introduced into every department of the company's service, and a? our expenditures will be confined only to such work as is absolutely nec? essary, we hepe to accomplish a saving of twenty five per cent, in this direction. In closing this report, we would bring to your no? tice the gratifying fact of our having passed through the year without an accidert, or any det>-ntioncf note in the movemen'6 ol our trains. It is the best evidence we can offer of the careful and active atten? tion of the company's officers and employees to their respective duties. Ail of which ie respeclfully submitted. A. F.

HOAD. It is with much satisfaction that I report the supe? rior condition of th) roadway. The rails are gener? ally well preserved, ond free from serious wear new cross-ties hav; been liberally used, and the la? bors of a ditching gang, which has been employed during the year in morning cuts, embankments and ditches, and in ballasting, has given to the whole un? usual stability and nuioothness of surface. This improved condition of the road wid have the gool eQ'ect of dimiiiisbiug the cost of its malntain ance for the coming year, while, Ht the same time, it will contribute in n great measure towards lessening tho usual wear ai d tear upon the machinery and cars, and securest) its wholo business operations increased safety and regularity. R.it little has been done during the ye. ir tc war .ts fining trestles, for the reason that th? ince me of the road did not justify its continuance. Should opporruniti-.-a occur in the fu? ture, by wbich this work can be resumed, they will be applied to that end. and every effort used to fur? ther its accomplishment. The bridges and trestles have been mostly r ?bullt within the past two years, and hence are in goc d repo ir. Tb e labors of the com? ing year will be com med chiefly to maintaining them In their present saf<i condition. Among the materioj improvements effec ed in this department during tho past year, have bee a the building of a new bridge across Lynches' Creek, and the rebuilding of the two miles of trestle through the Sante e Swamp, on the south of the river. MOTIVE POWEB. The machinery ol the road has been greatly im? proved, and, in point of efficiency, is superior to what it has been at any period within the past five years. Of the twelve engines -belonging to the com? pany eleven are in good order, and only one- the small gravel engine-reported merely ha running order. None are laid up for repairs. This improve? ment is not duo simply to ordinary repairs, for, since the close of the war, five engines have been thoroughly rebuilt, while, at the same time, the cur? rent wear of the others have, to the usual extent, been provided ".gainst, and the power of the wbole, as near aa practicable, been retained. The engine "Echo," embraced in the number reported as re? built, is an entirely new macblne, including even the boiler. Her cost ($10,000) ha* been classed as a current expense for the reason that she supplies the place of the engine "Kingstree," previously con? demned and destroyed. CABS. We have added ton new platform, and two new mall and express cars to thc stock reported h<-t year, and have condemned none. This add.tion has been effected lu our own Hhops, by tic force employed lor ordinary repairs, and their cost been charged as a current expense. Our passenger cara do not present tue ino>t desirable appearance, but they have been kept f afe, souud and comfortable. They will here? after receive such improvements as the means of the company may aulborize. The stock of freight cars arc in lair order, and in number quite ample io meet the prospective demands of the road. TBASSl'OnTATIOS. Thc operations ot the transportation department offers no unusual subject for comment The trains have been run with great regularity, the passenger trains, with a lew exceptions, having met their con? nections promptly, and the freight trains performed their duties satisfactorily, and both escaped the oe cum nee of any accident worthy of note. Thc re qu'rements of thc patrons of thc road have been an* swere.l with alacrity, and all reasons ble applications for concessions to their interests been responded to. Our depots and wood and water siation arrange? ments have been overhauled, and may, for thc pres. ent, be considered complete. The officers and e tnpiovees of the company have shown their accustomed zeal and Interest in its wel? fare, and merit therefor an appreciative recognition. Respectfully submitted, S. S.
